ABSTRACT:
To control low-pressure fluorescent lamps, there is provided a device comprising a first change-over switch circuit and a second change-over switch circuit, respectively including a first power transistor and a second power transistor. The first change-over switch circuit first of all measures the period of time when the second power transistor is on. Then, secondly, it turns the first power transistor on for a period equal to the period measured.
